Tour Itinerary - Subject to change

Day: 1

We depart the USA in time to arrive in Nairobi, Kenya December 1st. Flights often leave major US cities in the evening for an overnight flight to Europe.

Day: 2

Flights generally arrive in Europe in early morning with connections at mid-day for a late evening arrival in Nairobi.  We will be met upon arrival and transferred to our hotel.

Day: 3 Masai Mara

After a breakfast orientation meeting, we fly across the Great Rift Valley into the heart of Kenyan big game country in the Masai Mara National Reserve.  On a remote airstrip we meet our drivers and almost immediately begin to see animals on the way to our tented camp. After lunch, we head into the field for our first game drive.

Days: 4-7 Masai Mara

Established in 1961, the Masai Mara National Reserve is unparalleled as a wildlife reserve in Kenya, and ranks as one of the world's outstanding wildlife sanctuaries.  Located about 185 miles west of Nairobi on the border of Kenya and Tanzania, the Mara is really the northernmost habitat of the huge Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.  In the outer regions of the reserve the local Maasai, dressed in their traditional fashion, graze their cattle alongside the plains game. The Mara is a huge, unspoiled landscape of rolling hills evocative of Hemingway's Green Hills of Africa.  Stands of acacia trees break up the extensive stretches of grass savannah that is threaded with numerous tributaries of the Mara River. In the rivers, hippopotamus and crocodiles bask near the shore. Herds of elephants roam across the plains, masters of this land for half a million years.  Cape buffalo are here in great numbers as are Grant's and Thomson's gazelle, impala, topi, and Coke's hartebeest. Giraffe, eland, bushbuck, serval and the big cats—lion, cheetah and leopard—all live permanently within the reserve.  At this time of year the massive herds of zebra and wildebeest will also be present in the Masai Mara ecosystem.  For nature photography, the Mara is unsurpassed.  Many of the animals are acclimated to human wildlife viewing activities.  Our visit coincides with the start of the dry season and will allow us to experience some of the region’s many moods and capture the range of light from sunrise to sunset.  Our camp’s strategic position in the center of the reserve affords us the opportunity to shoot and re-shoot landscapes and wildlife at a variety of angles at different times of day.  A gentle climate combined with scenic splendor and incredible wildlife makes the Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland destination.

Days: 8-11 Samburu Game Reserve

The two reserves offer unique vistas of rounded and rugged hills and undulating plains. The mix of wood and grassland with riverine forest and swamp is home to a wide variety of animal and birdlife. Buffalo Springs records over 365 species of bird. Game viewing and visibility is excellent. Reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, elephant, oryx, Somali ostrich, hippo, crocodile, gerenuk, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena.

Days: 12-13 Lake Nakuru

Lake Nakuru is world famous for, and was created a National Park, to protect its stunning flocks of lesser flamingo, which literally turn its shores pink. Game view in  is relatively easy: buffalo, lion, Rothschild's giraffe, Black and White Colobus monkey are plentiful in the forest. The bushlands offer eland, steinbok, impala, Chandler's reedbuck and dik dik, whilst rock hyrax and klipspringer occupy the cliffs and escarpment. Picturesque landscape and yellow acacia woodlands.

Day: 14 Nairobi

In the morning we catch our flight to Nairobi.  We will have a dayroom where we will be able to freshen up before our transfer to the airport. From Nairobi we will board our flight home leaving this magical place behind us.
